LCEC Net Metering Guidelines
LCEC Net Metering GuidelinesThe LCEC Net Metering program allows LCEC customers with a renewable generation system (RGS) to offset all or part of their energy use. To offset energy use, the output from the customer’s RGS must be used downstream of the meter where it is connected.
Energy not consumed when it is produced is sent to the grid as excess energy and is accumulated and accounted for in reserves to be drawn upon as needed to offset future energy use from LCEC. Unused reserves (also referred to as banked usage) remaining after the December billing will be payable to the member in January at the calculated avoided wholesale rate for the prior year.
